The Alaris System performs a self check during power
up. The PC unit should beep, no errors should occur, and if
a module is connected, all LED segments should flash. If
the Alaris System fails the self check, remove the failing
PC unit or module from use.
•
When properly secured/snapped, the release latch
provides a very secure connection between modules. If not
properly latched, a module can be dislodged during
operation.
•
Disconnect from main (AC) and battery power when
performing maintenance.
•
Use only CareFusion batteries. The use of third party
batteries could affect the safety and efficacy of Alaris
products.

The battery cannot be repaired and should not be opened.
•
The battery is intended as a backup system. Leave the
power cord connected to a hospital grade AC power source
whenever available.

Battery replacement should be performed by qualified
service personnel while the instrument is not in use.
